One of Many Reasons Michele Bachmann Is Unfit For the Presidency

Jeffrey Goldberg:

Bachmann has built her foreign-policy platform on the nuance-free defense of Israel. She does this not because Israel is a strategic ally, or because it’s a democracy, but because the Bible states that God will curse those who betray it.
At a recent meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition, she said, “I am convinced in my heart and in my mind that if the United States fails to stand with Israel, that is the end of the United States.” She went on: “We have to show that we are inextricably entwined, that as a nation we have been blessed because of our relationship with Israel, and if we reject Israel, then there is a curse that comes into play.”
Just imagine, then, Bachmann’s paralysis when confronted by the reality of Tel Aviv, which is home to the largest annual gay-pride parade in the Middle East. The most recent one, held last month, drew about 100,000 people. According to a Guardian reporter, “Every square metre of shade was crammed” and “friends greeted one another with sweaty kisses and hugs.” A man named Amit Margalit, described as a bare-chested 28-year-old, said, “The weather is hot, the guys are hot, it’s a hot city.”

WTF?  A curse that comes into play?  Does she realize that this country existed for 172 years before the creation of the State of Israel?  Or that the United States wasn't exactly working actively for the Zionist cause before the end of World War II?  How exactly are the two nations inextricably entwined?  As Goldberg points out, this fervent, blind support of the most right-wing segment of Israel is dangerous to the United States and Israel  This woman has no business in Congress, let alone in the White House, but the Republican party has been taken over by loons.  God, please protect us from your most fervent believers.

Also, Herman Cain is running around saying communities should be able to ban mosques in the United States.  What is wrong with the Republican Party?  I thought the Tea Party took the Constitution seriously.  Let's try to keep the 1st Amendment, thank you very much.  You can also insert Cain into the title of the post.
